As the winter winds whisper through the eaves and the holiday season approaches, the desire to transform your home into a year-round beacon of festive cheer becomes irresistible. Permanent Christmas lights promise to turn every evening into a dazzling celebration, but the twinkling charm comes with a price tag. Join us as we unravel the brilliance of budgeting for permanent Christmas lights, with Astoria Lighting Co. as your guiding star.

• The Three Pillars of Cost

The cost of permanent Christmas lights comprises three main elements: the lights themselves, the housing (our high-quality powder-coated aluminum track), and the skilled technician’s installation fee. It’s all measured per linear foot. As the linear footage increases, so does the total cost. On average, our installations range from $2,500 to $5,500, with rates varying from $20 to $28 per linear foot.

• The Intricacies of Measurement

When it comes to permanent Christmas lights, square footage merely hints at the grandeur of the display. The challenge lies in the diverse architecture of homes — each with its unique roofline, porches, peaks, and other features. While two houses may share the same square footage, the linear feet required for permanent Christmas lights can vastly differ. This is where our expertise shines. We offer free measurements, ensuring a tailored approach to your home’s unique characteristics. From tracking depth to soffit color matching, our meticulous planning ensures a perfect fit.

• The Twists and Turns of Unforeseen Costs

During installation, unforeseen challenges may arise. Specialized track requirements, the need for a boom lift to reach challenging rooflines or other unexpected expenses can add a touch of complexity. While additional charges are not the norm, our commitment to excellence means we go the extra mile to overcome any obstacle, ensuring your permanent Christmas lights illuminate your home with the utmost brilliance.

Comparing the cost of permanent holiday lighting systems goes beyond the initial investment. Astoria Lighting Co. stands out with key differentiators that directly impact the value of our product:
